Without Amy Lee, the men of Evanescence would be faceless grind-and-pounders. Without them, Lee would be just another histrionic doom-bunny lamenting her love life over a piano. But that’s the magic that comes with finding the right creative foil, and Evanescence’s self-titled third album captures each party elevating the other far above where their proclivities would get them on their own. With the metallic lurch playing off of Lee’s goth-empress vocals, leadoff track “What You Want’’ is a strong declaration that they’re back after a five-year absence (and yet another lineup shift), and “My Heart Is Broken’’ is a banshee howl of defiant, self-lacerating rage. Glimpses of the less-interesting solo artist Lee could have been - the slow and sensitive piano-and-strings first third of “Lost in Paradise,’’ the atmospheric electronics of closer “Swimming Home’’ - are drags, and the band itself gets very little breathing room. But they show that she needs them to reign. (Out tomorrow)
